“Delhi, also known as the National Capital Territory of India is a metropolitan region in India. It has a population of nearly 25 million residents as of 2014, and is the largest city in India by land area and population.
Delhi is a city that bridges two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques.
